1 Introduction

Following from previous pages, this page will focus on filtering the data before clustering to explore if filtering improves the outcome of clustering.

2 Data

Here we read in the data and select a random half of it for exploration.

featFull <- fread("../data/synapsinR_7thA.tif.Pivots.txt.2011Features.txt",showProgress=FALSE)
locFull <- fread("../data/synapsinR_7thA.tif.Pivots.txt",showProgress=FALSE)

### Setting a seed and creating an index vector
### to select half of the data
set.seed(2^10)
half1 <- sample(dim(featFull)[1],dim(featFull)[1]/2)
half2 <- setdiff(1:dim(featFull)[1],half1)

feat <- featFull[half1,]
loc <- locFull[half1,]
dim(feat)
# [1] 559649    144
## Setting the channel names
channel <- c('Synap_1','Synap_2','VGlut1_t1','VGlut1_t2','VGlut2','Vglut3',
              'psd','glur2','nmdar1','nr2b','gad','VGAT',
              'PV','Gephyr','GABAR1','GABABR','CR1','5HT1A',
              'NOS','TH','VACht','Synapo','tubuli','DAPI')

## Setting the channel types
channel.type <- c('ex.pre','ex.pre','ex.pre','ex.pre','ex.pre','in.pre.small',
                  'ex.post','ex.post','ex.post','ex.post','in.pre','in.pre',
                  'in.pre','in.post','in.post','in.post','in.pre.small','other',
                  'ex.post','other','other','ex.post','none','none')

nchannel <- length(channel)
nfeat <- ncol(feat) / nchannel

## Createing factor variables for channel and channel type sorted properly
ffchannel <- (factor(channel.type,
    levels= c("ex.pre","ex.post","in.pre","in.post","in.pre.small","other","none")
    ))
fchannel <- as.numeric(factor(channel.type,
    levels= c("ex.pre","ex.post","in.pre","in.post","in.pre.small","other","none")
    ))
ford <- order(fchannel)


## Setting up colors for channel types
Syncol <- c("#197300","#5ed155","#660000","#cc0000","#ff9933","mediumblue","gold")
ccol <- Syncol[fchannel]

exType <- factor(c(rep("ex",11),rep("in",6),rep("other",7)),ordered=TRUE)
exCol<-exType;levels(exCol) <- c("#197300","#990000","mediumblue");
exCol <- as.character(exCol)

fname <- as.vector(sapply(channel,function(x) paste0(x,paste0("F",0:5))))
names(feat) <- fname
fcol <- rep(ccol, each=6)
mycol <- colorpanel(100, "purple", "black", "green")
mycol2 <- matlab.like(nchannel)

2.1 Data transformations

f <- lapply(1:6,function(x){seq(x,ncol(feat),by=nfeat)})
featF <- lapply(f,function(x){subset(feat,select=x)})

featF0 <- featF[[1]]
f01e3 <- 1e3*data.table(apply(X=featF0, 2, function(x){((x-min(x))/(max(x)-min(x)))}))

fs <- f01e3

### Taking log_10 on data with 0's removed
ans <- apply(featF0, 1, function(row){ any(row == 0)})

logF0 <- log10(featF0[!ans,])
slogF0 <- logF0[,lapply(.SD,scale, center=TRUE,scale=TRUE)]

We now have the following data sets:

  • featF0: The feature vector looking only at the integrated brightness features.
  • fs: The feature vector scaled between \([0,1000]\).
  • logF0: The feature vector, with 0’s removed, then \(log_{10}\) is applied.
  • slogF0: The feature vector, with 0’s removed, then \(log_{10}\), then scaled by subtracting the mean and dividing by the sample standard deviation.

3 Kernel Density Estimates of the marginals

df1 <- melt(as.matrix(fs))
names(df1) <- c("ind","channel","value")
df1$type <- factor(rep(ffchannel,each=dim(fs)[1]),levels=levels(ffchannel))

lvo <- c(1:5,7:10,19,22,11:16,6,17,18,20,21,23,24)
levels(df1$channel)<-levels(df1$channel)[lvo]

ts <- 22

gg1 <- ggplot(df1, aes(x=value)) + 
    scale_color_manual(values=ccol[lvo]) +
    scale_fill_manual(values=ccol[lvo]) +
    geom_histogram(aes(y=..density..,group=channel,colour=channel),bins=100) +
    geom_density(aes(group=channel, color=channel),size=1.5) +
    facet_wrap( ~ channel, scale='free', ncol=6) +
    theme(plot.title=element_text(size=ts),
          axis.title.x=element_text(size=ts),
          axis.title.y=element_text(size=ts),
          legend.title=element_text(size=ts),
          legend.text=element_text(size=ts-2),
          axis.text=element_text(size=ts-2),
          strip.text=element_text(size=ts), 
          legend.position='none')+
    ggtitle("Kernel Density Estimates of `fs` data.")

print(gg1)

4 Correlations

cmatfs <- cor(fs)
corrplot(cmatfs,method="color",tl.col=ccol[ford], tl.cex=1)
Figure 2: Correlation on untransformed F0 data, reordered by synapse type.

5 PCA on the Correlation Matrix

pcaf0 <- prcomp(featF0,scale=TRUE, center=TRUE)
pcafs <- prcomp(fs,scale=FALSE, center=FALSE)
elpcaf0 <- getElbows(pcaf0$sdev, plot=FALSE)
elpcafs <- getElbows(pcafs$sdev, plot=FALSE)

6 Level 1: K-means++ for \(K=2\).

We run a Hierachical K-means++ for \(K=2\) on the fs data with 4 levels.

set.seed(2^13)
L <- bhkmpp(fs,blevels=4)

6.1 Within cluster correlations (Lv 1)

corkp1 <- cor(fs[L[[1]] == 1,])
corkp2 <- cor(fs[L[[1]] == 2,])

par(mfrow=c(2,2))
corrplot(corkp1,method="color",tl.col=ccol[ford], tl.cex=0.8)
corrplot(corkp2,method="color",tl.col=ccol[ford], tl.cex=0.8)
corrplot(sqrt((corkp1 - corkp2)^2),method="color",tl.col=ccol[ford], tl.cex=0.8)
Figure 3: Within cluster correlations, clock-wise from top left, Cluster 1, Cluster 2, l2 distance between C1 and C2

Notice that the non-synaptic markers change very little between clusters. Also note that the correlations between (gad, VGAT, PV, Gephyr) and VGlut1 at both times change significantly between clusters.

6.2 Heat maps (Lv 1):

## Formatting data for heatmap
aggp <- aggregate(fs,by=list(lab=L[[1]]),FUN=mean)
aggp <- as.matrix(aggp[,-1])
rownames(aggp) <- clusterFraction(L[[1]])

The following are heatmaps generated from clustering via K-means++ (at level 1)

heatmap.2(as.matrix(aggp),dendrogram='row',Colv=NA,trace="none", col=mycol,colCol=ccol[ford],cexRow=0.8, keysize=1.25,symkey=FALSE,symbreaks=FALSE,scale="none", srtCol=90,main="Heatmap of `fs` data.")

    scale_x_continuous(limits=c(0,400)) +
    geom_histogram(aes(y=..density..,group=channel,colour=channel),bins=250) +
    geom_density(aes(group=channel, color=channel),size=1.5) +
